<h2>enumerate</h2>

 \begin{enumerate}

 \item First item

 \item Second item

 ....

 \end{enumerate}

</pre>


<p>The enumerate environment produces a numbered list.

    Enumerations can be nested within one another, up to four levels

    deep. They can also be nested within other paragraph-making

    environments.</p>


<p>There must be at least one <tt>\item</tt> command within the

    environment.</p>


<p>Each item of an enumerated list begins with an

    <tt><a href="item.html">\item</a></tt> command. The optional

    <tt>label</tt> argument of the <tt>\item</tt> command, if given,

    suppresses incrementing the <a href="ltx-3.html">counter</a>. If

    not given the default labels are taken from the counters,

    <tt>enumi, enumii, enumiii, enumiv</tt> for the four allowed

    levels of nesting, respectively.</p>


<p><a name="example">The</a> numbering style for the enumeration

    is determined by the commands, <tt>\labelenumi</tt>,

    <tt>\labelenumii</tt>, etc., for the nested levels. These may be

    redefined with the

    <tt><a href="ltx-18.html">\renewcommand</a></tt> command.</p>


<p>For example, to use upper case letters for the first level

    and lower case letters for the second level of enumeration:</p>



<pre>

    \renewcommand{\labelenumi}{<a href="ltx-199.html">\Alph</a>{enumi}}

    \renewcommand{\labelenumii}{<a href="ltx-199.html">\alph</a>{enumii}}
